awaiting client low-down on term they employ - as 'logging' with/without wireline seems to be close but asap I'll post their reply.

Tricky one...I'd assumed 'logging' in the more proverbial sense - 'electric-logging' would be a definite possibility - as would the basic 'profiling'..perfil relating to the report-'log' obtained..sounds like you've cracked that one - Thanks Robert.

seems more in line with 'drilling' - sonar-guided. I get this - quote:

Perfilagem Geof�sica: A perfilagem geof�sica � um instrumento de fundamental import�ncia que auxilia na constru��o do po�o e consiste em um conjunto de t�cnicas de prospec��o mineral direcionada � determina��o de intervalos com
potencial de aq��fero. S�o realizadas 3 leituras espec�ficas em uma �nica manobra: Potencial Espont�neo (SP), Resist�ncia El�trica e Radia��o Gama. Todas as informa�es obtidas s�o enviadas automaticamente a um computador port�til. O resultado � um perfil gr�fico que servir� de base para estabelecer o perfil construtivo do po�o.

perfil - profile obviously... that would make Clauwolf closer to home. Seems to be the act of measuring with laser-sighting and drilling in a given sequence.

Any chance of further opinions?

wireline logging

É uma das principais funções de um geólogo de sonda. Pessoalmente, tenho centenas de horas de perfilagem na minha carreira profissional.

Potencial Espontâneo (SP), Resistência Elétrica e Radiação Gama.

Todas estas medidas são obtidas por intermédio de aparelhos que se descem num poço como o auxílio de um cabo eléctrico (wireline) que além de servir como meio de transporte dos aparelhos também serve como meio de transmissão para a superfície dos dados obtidos durante a operação de perfilagem.

logging

That is the way I have always translated this term. I understand you are referring to seismic survey operations.

Electric logging--a valuable water well drilling tool by Randy Beler, Sask Water

The electric log can locate and determine the exact thickness and position of water bearing formations at a specific site.

This makes electric logging equipment a valuable tool to assist well drillers in finding water bearing formations.

Various types of logging equipment are available to well drillers, engineers and consultants. The most common type of logging equipment used for domestic water wells is the single-electrode electric logger.

This equipment measures and records the changes between an electrode placed in the test hole and a second electrode at the surface, usually in the mud pit.

The function of the electric logger is to provide a graphic representation of the electrical properties of the various formations encountered in a test hole.

Log is the perfil and logging is the action (perfilaje in Spanish). I had to translate a lot of that stuff from Spanish to English when I was Secretary to the Operations Manager of Shell Production in Argentina during the exploration of the Neuquén Basin. Regards.
